But... I Want To Be a Headliner!

A Recording

with Bella Sin

This class focuses on helping performers that are looking to move forth in their careers towards the goals of featuring and headlining shows, festivals, and other industry events. We’ll manage a laundry list of things to prepare your work to be presented in a clean and crisp manner, write a “first contact” letter that is quick and to the point, but professional, how to set your rates, negotiating, contracts, deposits and so much more!

Please note that due to Bella Sin being no longer able to attend the festival, this class has shifted to a streaming of a previous recording, followed by a follow-up session where attendees will be able to ask each other questions as well as coordinate follow ups with Bella Sin. Thank you for your patience!
